Quantum Optics of Random Media

Published Jan 1, 2009• 4 citations
Publisher

Abstract

We study quantum effects in multiple scattering of light in a random medium. A link between photocount statistics and Anderson localization is established. Novel ways of performing diffusing-wave spectroscopy of random media are proposed.

Photon noise in a random laser amplifier with fluctuating properties

Vladimir Yu. Fedorov, S. E. Skipetrov

We study fluctuations of the number of photocounts measured by an ideal photodetector illuminated by light scattered in an amplifying disordered medium, below the threshold for random lasing. We show that the variance of fluctuations and their correlation function carry information about fluctuating properties of the medium. A direct link is established between the fluctuations of the number of photocounts due to the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and the dimensionless conductance $g$ of the medium. Our results suggest a possibility of probing amplifying disordered media by analyzing statistics of their ASE, without illuminating them from outside by a probe beam.
